You don't want to miss this. Imagine an event where dedicated Agile practitioners and newcomers alike
come together for two days to discuss, examine and otherwise brainstorm the most timely and relevant
topics in Agile development today.

What is Agile Open California?

Agile Open California is a coalition of agile practitioners
and advocates intent on providing an opportunity for learning, networking and growth to the Agile
community in California and others who are interested.

What's the Cost?

Registration for Agile Open California is only $250.
For that you get:

A 2-day conference

Up to 32 sessions to choose from each day

Continental breakfast and lunch both days

A networking reception on the first evening

How Does it Work?

Using the Open Space Technology framework, we hold gatherings where sessions are self-organized
around topics important to the participants. We invite you to take this opportunity to share your
experiences, test new ideas and learn what other practitioners are thinking and doing!

This is the place to learn and contribute. At Agile Open California you can attend sessions hosted
by seasoned professionals, or host a session of your own. Here's an opportunity to share your favorite
topic with others. Or if you have a topic you don't know much about, and would like to hear from
people who do, you can convene a session and learn about your topic from the available expertise.

It doesn't get much better than this.
If you can attend only one conference this year, you'll want it to be Agile Open California,
possibly the most affordable Agile conference on the planet!

Agile Open was a great experience. The experiential sessions were a great way of getting a feel for agile concepts.
The "unconference" format was extremely effective at focusing attention on less familiar topics, such as project
portfolio management and capacity planning applications.

"I was skeptical when I went to the first Agile Open California. No agenda? No presentations? Reasonable fee?
What was the catch? Now I'm sold: I registered immediately for 2009, because I couldn't afford to lose a seat."
- Rob Myers

"I just wanted to say again that I really appreciate what you and the team did. I could only make a day of it,
but it was a very energizing and inspiring day. Many thanks to all of you!"
- Willliam Pietri

"I attended Agile Open California in 2007. By far the most 'alive' and interesting software conference
I've ever attended. I couldn't make it last year but I'll be there in 2009!"
- John Fleischhauer

"The high degree of interactivity at this conference was invaluable in preparing our team to be
successful at implementing Agile in our organization."
- Pat Gannon

"I attended Agile Open California in 2008 and it was hands down the most well-run open space conference I've ever attended.
I connected with a network of like minded people that I continue to rely on today. Highly recommended!"
- Ed Kraay
